Reports are great - both visually and data-wise. You can see information and analytics for your own campaigns as well as the team performance.
We love templates and the ability to create a template for the team within minutes.,There's not much editing options in terms of the email design, but it's not really a con since it allows the emails to get through picky Gmail and other email providers' filters.,9,Reply.io has been a lot more effective than MailChimp in terms of the follow-ups for the email chains. We use them to contact the people who said they wanted to do business with us and MailChimp's emails usually went to Promotions on Gmail. With Reply.io, we overcame this problem and the open rate improved 30%.,SendGrid Marketing Email and MailChimpZee GimonEmail outreach for busy people2017-09-14T22:05:04.440ZI'm the sole user of Reply in our organization.

I would like it to be easier to import custom fields.

However, my marketing team uses Reply every once in a while as well and we find it convenient and easy to understand.

It is convenient for following up with potential clients, but it is not so well-suited for the marketing emails such as digests that require a bit more pictures and "prettiness." However, like I mentioned in the previous questions - it gets its job done and the emails are simple and in your contact's inbox.

Reply is great for cold outreach to a large group of people. Inside sales roles will definitely find value in using Reply. Particularly, Reply can be used with LinkedIn prospecting tools to build huge lists of targeted prospects in very short amounts of time. Reply can be used across teams to build awareness of a product or event at massive scale. Reply can also be used to drip content to an audience of subscribers or after a webinar.

Reply.io is extremely good for sales teams looking for a quick solution and has a relatively smooth learning curve. I feel there would be issues when trying to scale out usage as the platform seems to be less of a team driven solution and more a point solution for individuals. The platform has moved in the right direction by supporting data enrichment, email validation and in-app calls. The reporting has also come a long way in my opinion.
